Could America have won WW2 if they didn't exploit minorities?
>>
How were they exploited? The worst thing I can think of is Japanese-Americans fighting while their families were inside internment camps.
>>
>>2935216
Yes?
Minorities did fuck all during WWII

Only 700 African-Americans died
>>
>>2935216
African Americans were almost banned from frontline service in Europe and the Pacific, so I don't see how it effected the war effort. Guess they made some pretty sick soul food as cooks though
>>
>>2935233

Women, African-Americans, and other minorities were responsible for America's massive industrial output.
>>
Black people were driving trucks and working logistics while whitey was being blown sky high. PoC were privileged.
>>
>>2935216
No, US Navy would be utterly useless with dirty decks on their ships.
>>
>>2935216
Hardly, slavs did most of the work.
>>
>>2935233
Only 700 died because they were the best warriors. Over 1,000,000 African American soldiers survived the war. It is said that when the Americans landed on the beaches of Normandy, the Germans were shocked because they couldn't find a single white man among them.

>>2935310
Germans just weren't willing to commit regocide
>>
>>2935216
Minorities and women played a very small role in the U.S. war effort. Women played a larger role in the European countries' war efforts, during WWI.

It was well known that german tank commanders often shat themselves in fear of the black warrior

>posts niggers

You are aware that, even after they had been interned, many Japanese Americans enlisted to fight in Europe right? Talk about real Americans, families got interned and they still wanted to prove themselves, the 442nd Infantry Regiment was the most decorated unit to fight in Europe. Also a ton of Latinos enlisted to fight, they were lumped together with White Americans administratively so we can't be sure what the exact number was, I do know the a majority of them enlisted to fight in the Pacific. Also Natives Americans played an important role in the Pacific as code talkers.

Unlike niggers, Orientals actually assimilate.

Weren't they mostly put into support rolls as well?

The black ones were, all the other minorities were allowed into the infantry of their respective branch.

>>2935244
women aren't minorities

And they gave their daughters and sons to bribe the African warrior even killing Hitler themselvs out of fear

They voluntarily signed up for it, also they got to have sexy times and impregnate many women along the way.

16 million Americans served in the armed forces during WW2.

The US military during WW2 was about 7% African-American, with over 1 million serving. Black soldiers were usually cooks, truck drivers, stevedores, etc. A select few got to be combat troops, but this was a very tiny number; only 708 African-Americans were killed in action during WW2, about 0.25% of the US total. Famous African-American combat units included the Tuskegee Airmen, 761st Tank Battalion, and 452nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. Because only the best and most motivated men got into combat roles at all, these units tended to be above-average. For example, of the 2,000 black combat troops who served in the Ardennes Offensive, 84% were ranked "very well" and 16% were ranked "fairly well". None were ranked badly. However there just weren't many of these men.

Aside from African-Americans, an estimated 500,000 Mexican-Americans served in WW2, according to the National Park Service. They made up about 3% of the US military; exact numbers are hard to find since Latinos didn't have a separate category on the census, but most of these men were almost certainly mestizos considering general demography. Then you have the American Jews; 550,000 served in WW2, nearly 3.5% of the military. Aside from those three groups were no other significant "non-white" minorities in the US military: 44,000 Native Americans, 33,000 Japanese-Americans, 20,000 Chinese-Americans, 16,000 Filipino-Americans, 15,000 Lebanese-Americans, and 65,000 Puerto Ricans served and collectively made up about 1% of the military. However there were a significant number of "white" ethnic minorities: 9% of the US population at the time was foreign-born and most of these spoke a language other than English as their first. This included 1,561,100 foreign-born native Italian speakers and 1,992,533 speakers of Slavic languages (primarily Polish). Surely a large number of native-born "white" Americans also spoke a non-English native language.

Where was OP implying that it's exclusively blacks. He was asking a question about the extent of minorities

Can you define assimilate in the context of your selective images what that has to do with fighting in WW2? They did fight in the war as well and they didn't have the current welfare state at the time.

Really makes you think.....would Germany have lost faster had they not exploited minorities as slave labor?
